Re: NLDS Game 5 Reds vs Giants 10/11/12

Sure he may be horrific, but at least he gave the Reds that veteran presence they needed in order to advance in the playoffs.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

No, Hanigan is very slow. A bunt could easily be a double play. And a bunt takes away the chance of a hit.

Hanigan is slow, the move was obviously made to avoid the double play and still give Hanigan a chance for a hit.
